You're running a PCR setup and the old machine is giving you uneven heating across the block, so some wells work great while others fail, and that's the core problem we see most often.
What this handles is that tempearture uniformity issue with the aluminun block and digital control—it keeps variation across all 96 wells under 1°C, which basically means your samples in the corners amplify just as reliably as ones in the middle, and the gradient feature lets you test 12 different annealing temps in one run, so you're not guessing on teh setting.

It covers 4°C to 105°C with ±0.5°C accuracy, the 7-inch touch screen is actually responsive, and you've got 30 programmable steps with up to 99 cycles, which is more than enough for most protocols we've seen; power input is universal at 110V-220V so no transformer needed, and it weighs 11kg so it's not too heavy to move around.

We stock these pretty regularly, MOQ is usually 1 unit, and (this might catch new labs by surprise) the 0.2ml tubes or plates are sold seperately—check if you need the 10–200μl volume range before ordering.

One thing that comes up is that the gradient differential goes up to 42°C, which is better than some pricier models, but it's not suited for ultrafast protocols that need sub-0.1°C uniformity—that's just a fact of the price point.
CE certified with each unit, we usually have the COAs on hand, roughly 2-3 weeks lead time unless we've got a batch in the warhouse, give or take.
Our MOQ for the TEC01 is 10 units per order, but we can discuss smaller quantities for first-time buyers or sample orders.
Lead time is usually 15-20 working days after order confirmation, depending on stock levels and order size.
Yes, the TEC01 is CE certified, and we can provide a copy of the certificate upon request for your compliance records.
Yes, the TEC01 is compatible with both 0.2ml PCR tubes and standard 96-well plates, and no extra adapters are needed—just load them directly into the aluminum block.
The TEC01 is packed in a sturdy foam-lined carton with additional bubble wrap to protect the touch screen and block during transit.
